“The debt is growing again”: at the mine “Spiridonovskaya” in Kiselevsk can not pay off miners

The situation at the Spiridonovskaya mine in Kiselevsk remains tense. Salary debts stretch from May 2025, and in August the company introduced external management. This was told by the first Deputy Governor Andrei Panov.

Now the only source of money to pay off debts is open-source coal mining. Since the beginning of the year, 149 thousand tons have been produced there, and part of the proceeds went to settlements with employees.

But there is a problem: in July, production at the site actually stood up and resumed only at the end of August. Because of this, the debt started to rise again.

According to Spiridonovskaya management, the replacement of contractors for open-pit mining did not give the proper result. Additional funds are needed to reach the planned production volumes, Andrey Panov explained after a meeting with the owners and management of the mine.

The owner has already started looking for money. Meetings with former and current employees continue, telling people what is happening and when to wait for payments.
